[Motorola Droid 3] xaser66:
well... ok, with little hope, I just wated another $6 in try to unlock my Droid 3...

The code from unlock4moto.com was the same that I previously got from other sellers, so, It FAILS too in unlocking my Droid 3 that is in locked since september 2011 that was I bougth it.

So, in order to try to help other people around and some new member I feel that I shoould to clarify some may be important info that was collected in the past months about unsuccesfull unlocks attemps...

1) For use the online unlock codes sellers, seems that your phone WILL NEVER activated before in veri$on network coverage, since appears that at first vrz activation, the vrz network will change the internal unlock code that came with phone from moto factory and since then the only code that may unlock your D3 seems that will be the code that must be provided by vrz service if you are a full customer active by the vrz conditions.

2) If yoru phone is never activated under vrz network, you almost would be lucky in use online sellers codes.

3) If the phone was used in Vrz network, you mostly will be without luck in unlock your phone, at least that you may have a friend that may receive your phone and may activate it in Vrz account and network, so You could get the vrz code for your phone, that in addition seems that is generated by the MEID number and NOT by the IMEI number.

So, by now I STILL have my phone locked after bought the code ONE MORE TIME (by now I have 6 different code sellers and 2 Turbosim sellers, from which I have some luck in use the phone with some orange turbosim, BUT it fail in maintain the signal and connection when I move, like in a car from one loctaion to another and when connection fail none turbosim was able to allow to restore connection and in fact need to reset the sim on ANOTHER unlocked diferent phone to allow connection on D3 again... is a bother and mess to use...)

If somebody have new/improved info about this or the details about the above comments, I would be very gratefull for some help in order that i may get my D3 some day.

by now, again as paperweight on my desk... :-(

First you have to get in the secret menu dialing *#*#4636#*#* and check if your phone finds any GSM networks.

Phone Information- GSM Auto for prefered network , and then go to General Setting and look up for your countries

networks. If it works then you should be able to unlock the phone with a code obtained from ebay..

Worked for me in Greece
[Motorola Droid 3] RBenard:
Just wanted to leave a clear feedback about unlock4moto services, I bought the unlock code for the global carriers and received my code within 3 minutes. Yes just 3 Minutes!

Impressive, Affordable, and the best, it works!

Highly Recommended...
[Motorola Droid 3] vbi1:
It works for you, but not for the few like xaser66 or myself.
[Motorola Droid 3] skywxj:
works for me too，took just 6hours
[Motorola Droid 3] googleluca3.2:
Ok i did that, and my mobile phone finds several operators in my region, but i cannot connect to them because "my sim cards does not allow this".

This phone has never been activated before and/or turned on. So the OTA-Update of the unlocking code via verizon (xt862) is not possible. But the ordered unlocking code does not unlock nothing. The seller said, don't waste money or time, every except verizon will provide the same code..

Is there no possibility to flash a rom over the stock rom to eliminate this problem.. how do i sort this problem out (i don't want to use a turbo sim card because it is forbidden in my country (Austria))

(Do i should have to be connected with the internet when i want to pass the unlocking screen? and is it necessary to activate the phone because i don't think it is possible in my country ..
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
I'm afraid you're SOL. You can try selling the phone on eBay noting it is locked and compatible with Verizon only to recoup some losses and buy another one that is sold unlocked. Alternatively you can get XT860 which does not get codes altered and which anyways will work better in Australia.

Or best - wait and get Milestone 4 if it ever gets released... D3 IMO is obsolete now.
[Motorola Droid 3] googleluca3.2:
haha, i am fu**** up .. i'm lucky .. again.. ;)

What a pity that hardly no one knows Austria the small evil country next to the even more evil country Germany :rolleyes:

nah, is there nothing i can do? really nothing? when i give it to the local store, could they fix that? so they manipulate with a special whatever the simlock?

The exchange rate is the worst i've ever noticed, so no droid 4 for me, and i think I will not benefit from selling it overseas again.

The Verizon employee only said, "you're from europe without a valid account, please don't waste our time" (not literally but.. something like this)

So i got a nice mp3 player..
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
I'm sorry about mixing up Australia with Austria! There are quire a few Australian members here on board using D2G and D3 and I simply read wrongly the country name in your post. I love Vienna btw!!!

There is one thing you could do, but this requires you have a friend in the States with Verizon service. All that's necessary is to have the phone activated on postpaid account that has been in good standing for at least 6 months and the account owner can get the unlock code from Verizon for free. Activate the handset on the account , call Verizon global support and get the code. You don't have to send the phone, just give them the MEID so they can put it on their account and after they can call in. Later, swap the MEID (ESN) back with whatever was before on their account. As simple as that! But simple if you have a friend in the States...
[Motorola Droid 3] chemicalboyxda:
Worked for me too. Verizon D3 never activated, now it work in every gms provider in Argentina.

Other people have problems because sometimes the codes dont work because the phone has been activated in verizon or recieve an ota update that change the unlock code.
[Motorola Droid 3] Jas0nMack:
Has anyone been able to get tether to work over GSM? I did the hack for Verizon to enable Mobile Hotspot to work with Verizon but I sent this phone unlocked to Honduras and right now it's only getting Edge (our local Blackberry's are getting 3G) and Mobile Hotspot as well as Android Wireless Tether will not pass data through to a device.

This is what my local user did: http://www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings/settings.php?id=517

We still have yet to talk to people who work for the carrier since Digicel doesn't offer anything but Blackberry or Symbian.
[Motorola Droid 3] xaser66:
Hi!

Well, some time ago from my last post... so, Thanks for some post of friends around here that was taking time to help and also to the frineds that are in the same situation as me...

Well, by today I may make some comments about my case...

1) By today I still have my Phone Network LOCKED and still enters in subsidy lock by any attemp.

2) I had the lucky and gratefully help from a friend in USA, that made me the favor of obtain the Veriz*n code for my MEID's phone number,BUT sadly and unlucky(I do not know how my friend manage to obtain my code,... it fails too and seems that is very related with some kind of side effect of OTA or activation under verizon network that may make the phone unable to recognize other networks when it enters in the subsidy lock.

3) By this way... by now, I wonder if there is a way to reflash our locked D3s to the very ORIGINAL stock software version VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-20_TA-9_CFC_1FF_01, since with this may be a good chance to make the D3 to recognize the network and to accept the codes (and I even guess that the internet sellers codes...), but until today D3 fail in my attemps to this original stock version (of course the OTA version VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-55_1FF_01 could be falsed without errors BUT this is the same rom that seems that have the Network deep locks, and also the same that have the trick that VRZ did for chance the internal unlock codes, and also the part in the software that seems that try to connect to a verizon server to make a checksum of the vrz code typed in the phone to return an unlock code or order...

The flash of the ORIGINAL stock may not have these issues, and may be the reason why VRZ make so difficult to revert the phone to this ORIGINAL stock in order to prevent the unlocking by internet sellers codes available that seems that are based in the imei algrytms of Moto factory when it "leaks" to net code sellers...

Anyway, only share my thoughts/suspects with hope if may have any sense to another friend with good knowledge/info or may have a clue on some of the above...

As always thanks again, and Best regards to all!

This is depressing news...
[Motorola Droid 3] 5318008:
Thanks button clicked! Gambled on a bad-ESN Droid 3 off Craigslist tonight for $70, bought this code, got it 30 minutes later. Popped in an old ATT SIM, put in the code, unlock successful!

Once I do the US-carrier hack listed in the forums, I'm going to be riding T-Mobile's unlimited 2G gravy-train for $30/month.
[Motorola Droid 3] Droidlyen:
Ordered my sim-unlock from unlock4moto.com on Sunday (Fathers Day) at 7:30 p.m. and recieved a working code at 12:30 a.m. Monday.

5 hrs. is not bad for $6

Thanks for the recommendation!

(Now to get it up and running on Americas T-molbile. :D)
[Motorola Droid 3] CornholioGSM:
$6 is standart prize

I have unlocked three droid3 by this seller on ebay :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/190588789953?redirect=mobile

I wait max 1 hour for code :)
[Motorola Droid 3] NIGHTMARE-:
Well I purchased two droid 3 from U.S and purchase unlock code from ebay @$3.35 and $4.29 both are working in India. Also I flashed with XT883,So I can use CDMA and GSM sim cards.
[Android Apps and Games] akpe:
I can't understand why, but suddenly MarketEnabler and all similar apps stopped working on both my HTC Sensation and Motorola Flipout.

I can't access Google maps/earth/currents nor Facebook, to name a few. Both devices use market 2.3.6, where MarketEnabler worked flawlessly until a couple of days ago.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any workarounds?

[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Good rom - like the last builds from the other thread.

But is seems to be not the latest gapps! Gallery is still not the newer one. There has been posted a gapps package in the other thread with a gallery that has more options and working picasa sync. I don't know if other gapps from this package are also newer...

[HTC Desire S] B3rtbot:
Noticed one bug, it was also present in previous builds. When installing an application from SD card on the screen with the progress bar, after fully installed, if you rotate the screen it shows that the application is still installing and it doesn't finish. Don't know any other way of explaining it :(:confused:
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Could be...I had tested them and there was some lag after a while...so I've sticked to an older one that worked better for me and maybe didn't noticed that

Great work guys ..cant thank more ...gonna flash tomorrow and be beta 1 again from 8:P
[HTC Desire S] buzzboy:
Mind blowing work.

By far the best ICS rom I've seen.

Thanks to the legends.

[HTC Desire S] CoolButcher:
ROM Control is very nice.

Saw some bugs though:

1. CRT animation doesn't work

2. Power Menu options don't change anything

3. Toggle layout -> toggle style - there are no icons so icons only and icons and text look weird

4. Description text for wait to lock screen in lock screen options is too long. (Isn't fully shown)

That's what I encountered.

Very nice release :-)

Requires a clean installation or upgrade itself ( Wipe, dalvin wipe )? Thanks.

MUCH

quicker than GB or HC - like

noticably quicker to not only connect but also in use

.

This ROM is amazing - apart from the remaining fixes, its hard to imagine it getting much better.

[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Just this to say...

Awesome and Amazing work...

ICS is flying now....

Works a gem...

Mind blowing tweaks...:)

Really appreciate the hard work your putting in :)
[HTC Desire S] simeonoff:
Ok. Since everybody has some feedback to give, I wanna do my part too.

Overall, good effort.

BUT!

I know you guys clame that 3D games work, however, this is not the case with me. I've tried two games that I am currently playing, non of them worked. The first one was The adventures of Tintin, and the second one was Real Racing 2. This is somewhat sad. Apparently the rom does not support my Desire S' graphics. I also noticed some lag when I hit the app drawer button, which makes me think, again, that there are problems with the gpu driver for the adreno 205. I know there isn't an official ics for devices with this gpu, but the port of the current driver needs more work. Great work otherwise, I found myself really wanting to use this rom as my daily rom, but not being able to play the games I paid for is a deal breaker for me. If any of you knows of a solution to the problem, or can share their experience with gaming on this rom, let me know.

Thenks!

i have a strange error, with beta 1, GTA3 (game) would run fine, multitouch a little buggy but it worked, just flashed beta 3 and now after about 10 seconds of gameplay my phone reboots. any ideas guys?

note. phone also rebooted when using cyanogen 7.1 rom (android 2.3.7) (clean flash)
[HTC Desire S] H3lli0n:
Installed and testing this new beta 3. Thanks for the awesome wrk, the beta is quite nice ! The final version will be a kick ass one ! Keep it up! :)

I tested 720p video with mxPlayer Pro and the H/W is not supported yet. I guess thie 720p lag issue is due to a partial HW acceleration support.

A Beta a day keeps other Roms away:D
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I just flashed beta 3. This is a pretty big UI update. New messaging icon (fits better with ICS, all of the others were blue) lockscreen shortcut changed to phone and 1% battery with text. The toggles are just awesome. Can't tell you how much i like those :)
[HTC Desire S] vampire36:
Can someone tell me in lockscreen option...there is menu icon to unlock...

What exactly is that ???

1 more thing...this worked for me...

I installed OCUVBeater...its showed over clocking upto 1400...

Somehow i felt it was actually working that way...also virtuous oc was diabled...

then i set up wake to 245 to 1200 and sleep 245 to 375...activated it permanently..virtuous oc activated...

Everything seems super smooth and like butter...the phone just feels dat way...

so if any1 feels the way I did..thats the solution...

I just wiped cache and dalvik cache while flashing from beta 2...:)

[HTC Desire S] admds:
No problems here. Tested modern combat 3 and it was fine.

I am having a browser issue thiugh. When attempting to play flash videos (which worked in full screen mode in beta 1), I get a black screen and then if you try to play the video again, the browser FC.
[HTC Desire S] knockedx:
simeonoff

Do you have activated "don't keep activities" in developer options?
[HTC Desire S] simeonoff:
Just tested what you said about the flash not working correct. It's true, video won't play(black screen), when going off and on full screen again browser FC's. I also tried playing an hd movie through MX Video Player, and when using the H/W Decoder, the video won't play. Only S/W decoder works for watching videos. I truly believe that we don't have full HW support for ICS.

I will give MW3 a shot, but Real Racing for example doesn't work for me.

On my older Legend that had hardware buttons not touch, this was used to wake up / unlock the device without the need to drag the ring or touch the screen. I've tested now and doesn't work for us. Could be that the Virtuous ROMs are made for more than one device and this option does not apply to us...or it doesn't work
[HTC Desire S] simeonoff:
Just bought Samurai II: Vengeance from the market, to find that it doesn't work... :mad: The hell is wrong with this rom :( Real Racing 2 opened fine... The Adventures of Tintin still won't start... although you can see that version 1.1.2 is optimized to work with ICS. May some of the devs confirm that the adreno 205 driver support is still very poor?
[HTC Desire S] bad-wimpie:
virtous rom still beta

Guess you guys that want to play games on this rom,you know its still a beta so wot do you expect.give the devs the time to make a perfect rom.
[HTC Desire S] simeonoff:
You and I both know that these roms are always in "beta". :) Putting beta in the name is a formality. There will never be a "final" version so to say. Just wanted to know for sure that the drivers are bad, and there was nothing to be done to improve video performance. The only "final" version, I believe will be the one from HTC, if they ever decide to release ICS for the Desire S. My question to the developers is simple. Will the gpu diver improve in future or is it mission impossible, and if that's the best we can get out of ICS for now? Other than that, it is obvious that grabbing things from here and there and putting them together will never be perfect. Still, huge thanks to the guys who spend time to make ICS sneak peak possible.

I am on your side here. This is not correct and should be fixed in the description
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
A short search on Google would have answered your question:)

WiFi Direct is used to directly connect 2 compatible devices (or more?) for many purposes. It's, let's say, a peer-to-peer connection using WiFi, without the need of a router or other networking device. This is only the beginning, but allows file transfers, business cards transfers, appointments, etc between the two devices. Also it's possible to play games in two or communicate with home appliances, networking equipment, printers and so on in the future.

It has also support for NFC (but Desire S is not NFC compatible) so a WiFi direct connection can be initiated this way as well.

Hopes that this will answer the question
